Objective: Ramipril is a long-acting angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. The study aimed to design, formulate and evaluate the oral osmotic drug delivery dosage form of an anti-hypertensive drug, ramipril. Methods: The tablet was formulated using ramipril and different polymers like PVP- K30 and Ethyl cellulose. The microcrystalline cellulose (MCC - diluent), Potassium chloride, Mannitol (osmogen) and Magnesium stearate (lubricant) were used in all the formulations. All the tablets were manufactured by wet granulation method followed by film coating. Compatibility of the drug with excipients was determined by FT-IR spectral analysis. The granules were evaluated for bulk density, Carr’s index and Hausner’s ration to determine flow properties. The prepared compressed and coated tablets were evaluated for weight variation, thickness, hardness, friability, and drug content and in vitro drug release and release kinetic studies. Results: The FT-IR study revealed that drug was compatible with excipients. The flow properties of granules of most formulation were excellent. All osmotic tablet formulations had good tablet physiochemical properties as per Pharmacopeia. The drug content of all tablet batches was satisfactory. The in vitro drug release study revealed that the formulation F7 containing 100 mg of ethyl cellulose release 100% of drug in 24 h with zero order release kinetics. Conclusions: Ramipril osmotic tablet could be used for safe management of hypertension with greater novelty.

Epigenetics play a role not just in the normal functioning of the cell and its development, but also in diseases like neurological diseases and cancer. Epigenetic therapies can help to resolve non-identical problems of these pathophysiological conditions. Cancer is a complex disease with both genetic and epigenetic origins. The importance of epigenetics in cancer has been identified, and the field has emerged rapidly in recent years. Epigenetic and genetic alterations contribute to the initiation and progression of cancer. Epigenetic modifications introduced genetic changes, and usually occur at an early stage in development of a neoplasm, but may also be involved in its invasion and spread. Recent technological advances in genetics and epigenetics offer a better understanding of the underlying epigenetic alterations during initiation and in the progression process of the human tumors.

Methods: In linearity spectra of the Clopidogrel Bisulphate and Irbesartan to shows to possible a simultaneous equation method but the zero order linearity spectra was converted to first derivative and second derivative spectroscopic method to not shows any zero crossing point so that this method was not possible. Results: In this spectroscopic method, for Clopidogrel Bisulphate 220 nm and 250 nm wavelengths were selected for measurement of absorptivity. Both the drugs show linearity in a concentration range of 10-50 μg/ml at their respective λ max with correlation coefficient (r 2 ) of 0.9996 and 0.9998 for Clopidogrel Bisulphate and Irbesartan, respectively. Accuracy, precision and recovery studies were done by QC samples covering lower, medium and high concentrations of the linearity range. The relative standard deviation for accuracy, precision studies were found to be within the acceptance range (<2%). The limit of determination was 0.056 μg/ml and 0.075 μg/ml for Clopidogrel Bisulphate and Irbesartan, respectively. The limit of quantification was 0.172 μg/ml and 0.229 μg/ml for Clopidogrel Bisulphate and Irbesartan, respectively. Recovery of Clopidogrel Bisulphate and Irbesartan were found to be 99.58% and 99.66% respectively confirming the accuracy of the proposed method. % Assay was found to be 99.41% and 99.22% for Clopidogrel Bisulphate and Irbesartan, respectively. Conclusions: It can be concluded from the study that assay results obtained by proposed method are in fair agreement and can be effectively applied for the estimation of these two drugs.","PeriodicalId":19998,"journal":{"name":"Pharmaceutical and Biological Evaluations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74705397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
